Nazar – Demilitarize

Nazar’s debut on Hyperdub was a statement – not least due to the sound of airstrikes rendered in rhythm and his politically blunt lyricism. On Demilitarize, the balance tips in favour of Mk.gee’s take on kuduro, with shaky knees and a world music upbringing folded in. More coherent, more beautiful, and more distinctive than 90% of the competition – and still 10% less impressive than the debut.
